What do sand and love have in common?

Well, Glitterinas, I'll tell you.

They can both fill things!

Sand can fill a bucket or the space between your toes-ies.

Love can fill your heart!

On a recent trip to the Texas coast I was lucky enough

to squish my toes in the sand and feel the love that filled a room!

My brother in law, Cass, 

met, 

fell in love, 

and eloped 

with

the love of his life, Tricia!

Here they are.....

All together now....Ahhhh.....

At Thanksgiving they announced that they had eloped and 

would be having a party when the weather was nicer.....fast forward to Spring....

 we received this

lovely piece of mail....

How fun!  A party!

The party venue was at the beach.....there was a boardwalk.....

that led right down to the sand and surf!

To a girl who grew up on the Texas Gulf coast the surf, sand, and sea gulls 

bring back all kind of fun childhood memories!

When we strolled back up the boardwalk to the party, 

a super cute entrance table beckoned us to come inside.

I love this picture......

Candles, a guest book, and an opportunity to send happy wishes

 to the new couple also greeted guests!

These interesting, clever decorations set the mood

for this comfortable, happy celebration!

Here's my husband holding the newest addition to our loud and rowdy crew....

Miss Scarlett!

An evening of visiting and meeting new people 

was enjoyed by everyone.

Here are some special people.....

my husband's sisters and their spouses.

.....and my husband's brother and his spouse!

I did not have anyone get a snap of husband and I....

no big loss there.

Dinner was served and we all sat at tables with more 

creative decorations.

Didn't want to forget to take this home......I'd been told

there were chocolate kisses inside.

Even the glasses had a fun touch.....

After dinner, there was dessert.....oh, be still my sugar lovin' heart!

Love IS sweet.....

and so was the bride's cake.....I got a piece from 

the pineapple layer.....sooooo good.

I wasn't the only one snapping party pics....

I wasn't the only one dancing, visiting, eating, drinking or

having a great time, either.

We all got to hug these two and say 

"Thanks"

for including us in a terrific get-together!

Thank YOU, Glitterinas, for sharing my

sand and love filled trip to the coast.

Until next time,

Tammy
